Justin and Julia
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hi! We are Justin and Julia (AKA Julie, I go by both which confuses everyone). Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about us.
Our story together began back in 2009 when Julie came home from college and went out with some friends for the evening. It just so happens Justin and his friends had the same plans for the evening. Now, we both knew of each other prior to this due to our large number of mutual friends, but we had never actually crossed paths. By the end of the first night Julie declared to her friends she was going to marry Justin (when you know you know!). In June 2011, we were married with a lot of those same mutual friends at our side.
In 2014 we welcomed our son, Ethan into our lives. He has brought us so much joy and happiness. When we tried again for another child, we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Although this was a challenging time, we believe that it was God’s way of telling us to follow our dreams of adoption. We just needed that added push. We are so excited to welcome another beautiful child into our family through adoption.
Financial Support
Expectant mothers who choose to make an adoption plan may qualify for some level of financial assistance during their pregnancy. However, each person's situation and specific needs are different. Your adoption social worker can help you determine what level of assistance you qualify for and deserve. Many expectant mothers qualify for financial assistance to cover basic pregnancy and living expenses, including but not limited to - transportation reimbursement, utility assistance for phone, water, and electricity/gas, maternity clothing and supplements, etc.

Navigating a pregnancy alone is never easy. Depending on your situation and location, you may qualify for financial assistance to help cover the cost of basic living expenses, such as food and groceries.

In order to have a healthy pregnancy, it's important that you have everything you need to lead a healthy lifestyle. The cost of some household items may be covered during your pregnancy.
